RE: [nznog] Routing protocols
What routing protocols do people use on their networks? Particularly inside.
Does anyone in the world actually use IS-IS ?
I am not interested in what network runs what, just how many networks run various protocols.
Rough idea of network size would be nice, and any partcular reasons you prefer one to the other.
thanks for satisfying my curiosity JM
In the words of Iljitsch van Beijnum's book "BGP", which I was reading over Easter (I know, I'm a sad person): "If you are implementing a large-scale IP network or have unusual requirements, you should definitely read up on all the protocols so you can make an informed decision. However, most small-to-medium sized networks running just IP should go ahead and select OSPF: it does the job, doesn't have any huge disadvantages, and is readily available." - Donald Neal Donald Neal | "I suspect most samba Technical Specialist | developers are already Operations Engineering | technically insane.
